I forgot to post about this when it happened but as of a few weeks ago my student loan is completely paid off 🎉
I don't know if it was the heat or what but I got a bit ranty at the end of the show yesterday about computers being friendly to me and also making noises
Me and @adam were in the top 300 fundraisers on Tiltify for the third year in a row 🎉

My @penaddict notebook arrived last week along with a bottle of Fire on Fire but it felt appropriate to wait for the right pen, which arrived today: a Pilot Prera in orange. Also I think I like broad nibs now?
Update 2026-06-23
I've been informed that this is a calligraphy nib rather than a broad

TIL Lauren Ash of Superstore fame dropped an album last year and it's pretty good. Sways more towards pop than rock for my tastes but it's fun regardless.
This is too many to keep track of

There's a deluxe version of Skydxddy's Traumacore with seven new tracks...added at the start of the album?! That is so chaotic.
New tracks are very good though.

If you're into cryptic crosswords you should check out Unch. Issue 4 is up for preorder right now and it's only a fiver.

this is a toot about the social media ban
Have we considered sending in a three year old who really wants a snack to solve the world’s problems because those mfs can negotiate with the best of them

Pump it directly into my veins.
I wonder how the people who bought every apple watch band colour in the first couple of years are doing now
Dusted off the Instax yesterday with @keenan

My dad gave me this Fisher Space Pen he got in the 70s with this worn off branding on the side that I wasn’t able to recognise or read. Someone on the @penaddict Slack correctly identified it as Rauma Repola and I was able to find a listing for one on eBay to see what it originally looked like.


New pen day!

Wolverine looks incredible
🎵 TWSBI of the week
Fluorite Purple with Tom's Studio Juniper. I waited until this morning because last night the ink looked really dark but even in daylight it's just a very dark ink, I can hardly see the purple in it at all.

Drag and drop? In this economy?!

I just called the weather app “the sky menu” to give you some idea how much my brain isn’t working this morning
All the AI shite and now I also have to think about switching search engines. Fucks sake

Brian Butterfield will return in Avengers: Doomsday

The most egregious change in iOS26 isn't liquid glass it's the bluetooth changes that means it takes ~45 seconds before my car will be ready to play music where previously it was < 10 seconds.
My entire life there has been one Aromat and now there are two more types. What a world.

TWSBI doing everything they can to take my money as efficiently as possible with this release.

The explore tab on mastodon is usually one joke toot that’s mildly funny and twenty toots each explaining a different atrocity going on in the world
Got my hands on a Zento Signature because I can't let @jason have all the fun. It's nice but I'm glad I didn't pay over retail price though, it's not that nice.

Me: Yep, ordering a new notebook right now
D: That's not wha—
M: TOO LATE ALREADY ORDERED
